The big question for the Boomers will be whether captain Jenna O'Hea can make her return this round following a nasty calf injury.

O'Hea is desperate to play but smart enough to know she must be in the best possible condition before doing so.

"Even if I do play it will be on limited minutes," O'Hea said this week.

"I will see what I can get out of my body."

The Boomers scored a comeback win over Dandenong Rangers on Monday night and would love to continue their form by upsetting the Flames, who again lead the WNBL powered by WNBA import Asia Taylor.

Liz Cambage was in ominous form against the Rangers with 27 points and the challenge for the Boomers will be creating offence when Cambage is double or triple-teamed, or on the bench.

O'Hea said her side would be much better after losing to the Flames earlier this season.

"Asia is having an incredible season so we will have to slow her down and the rest of her team," O'Hea said.

"We have learned a lot from our loss to them a few weeks back and we need to improve our head to head record with other teams so this win is important to us."

Melbourne Boomers play Sydney University Flames at Brydens Stadium on Saturday 3pm with Fox Sports showing the game live before the Boomers host Adelaide Lightning at the State Basketball Centre on Sunday at 2.30pm.
